Description
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed to reporters on August 13, 2025, at training camp that he fought stage four melanoma for a decade after a 2010 diagnosis and that an experimental drug saved his life.
"Millions of people are dealing with setbacks every day," Jones said. "There's no question from my point of view the great life that I get to have being around you guys, being around this team. For me, if you need to be around a positive attitude when you're dealing with something like [cancer], I've been around it."
Jones said he was blessed to be part of the NFL as he battled cancer more than a decade ago.
"Got a lot to keep your mind on as you're going forward," Jones said. "You don't like to think about your mortality, but I was so fortunate to have some great people who sent me direction. I got to be part of a trial that was propitious. It really worked. It's called PD-1 and it really really really worked."
